Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's suitable for use with Autoconf, compliant with the GNU Makefile standards, and portable to various make implementations. This is the first release in the automake-1.14 release series, and contains the latest version of automake system, automake-1.14.
This cygwin package, automake1.14, can be installed without conflict alongside the existing automake1.13 ... automake1.4 cygwin packages, CHANGES (vs automake 1.13 series) ====================================================================== 1.14.0: We are pleased to announce the GNU Automake 1.14 minor 1.14.0: release. 1.14.0: 1.14.0: This release comes with two important changes: 1.14.0: 1.14.0: 1. It introduces a new feature aimed at making the 1.14.0: implementation of non-recursive build systems more 1.14.0: convenient and manageable (thanks to the new support 1.14.0: for the '%reldir%' and '%canon_reldir%' automake-time 1.14.0: substitutions). 1.14.0: 1.14.0: 2. It improves the handling of C compiles not 1.14.0: supporting the conjunct use of the '-c' and '-o' 1.14.0: options (unfortunately, this improvement comes with a 1.14.0: couple of minor backward-incompatibilities, described 1.14.0: in detail in the NEWS section below). Among th other 1.14.0: things, this means that you no longer need to explicitly 1.14.0: call the AM_PROG_CC_C_O macro yourself in configure.ac 1.14.0: (pre-existing invocation of this macro are of course 1.14.0: still accepted and correctly working, for the sake of 1.14.0: backward-compatibility). 1.14.0: 1.14.0: The 1.14 release also introduces new (non-fatal) runtime 1.14.0: warnings to simplify the transition to Automake 2.0. You are 1.14.0: free to ignore such warnings for now, but should address 1.14.0: them before the transition to Automake 2.0 (whose ETA is 1.14.0: about one year from now, maybe more, so no need to hurry 1.14.0: yet). 1.14.0: 1.14.0: See the official announcement for more information: 1.14.0: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2013-06/msg00040.html Testsuite results: ======================================================= Testsuite summary for GNU Automake 1.14 cyg32 cyg64 ======================================================= # TOTAL: 3036 3036 # PASS: 2907 2927 # SKIP: 85 69 # XFAIL: 40 39 # FAIL: 4 1 # XPASS: 0 0 # ERROR: 0 0 ======================================================= Testsuite details: ======================================================= The tests were executed with LANG=en_US.UTF-8, running as a regular user on Windows 7 64bit with cygwin(32)-1.7.21-1 / cygwin(64)-1.7.21-7. The four cyg32 failures were: cyg32| FAIL: t/tap-signal.tap 2 - count of test results cyg32| FAIL: t/tap-signal.tap 5 - TAP driver catch test term. by SIGQUIT cyg32| FAIL: t/tap-signal-w.tap 2 - count of test results cyg32| FAIL: t/tap-signal-w.tap 5 - TAP driver catch test term. by SIGQUIT which appear to be due to a difference in signal handling with respect to SIGQUIT between cygwin32 and cygwin64. This issue is being investigated. The sole cyg64 failure was: FAIL: t/instspc.tap 33 - plus in builddir which appears to reflect that '+' is not allowed in a directory name on Windows, but the test expects it to be legal. The question is, why does the test pass on cyg32? Unsure... Still -- only 4 (or 1) failures out of over 3000 tests is not bad. -- Charles Wilson volunteer automake maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
